You mean an engine rebuild?

I have a topic in the Archives that covers the assembly of the engine in my 2nd gen. It does not cover the disassembly and preparation work though.

The seals themselves are available at Mazda or any of the vendors. If you are unsure of aftermarket seals, get the factory seals.

I've never bought them, dont know what they go for. i THINK around $200 for the set? They are not the type of thing you can just replace by themselves. You will have to pull the engine, completely dissasemble it and rebuild it and replace every engine seal. Bad apex seals = blown engine. Your best bet is to find someone close to rebuild it or send it off to be rebuilt (looking at around 1000-2500).
